I never met him, but for the 25h anniversary of Squirrel Girl, we checked to see if he wanted to draw something. He'd been on rough terms with Marvel for years but he did take the call. @Wil_Moss told me when he popped the question, Steve laughed for a bit and said "Nope". ❤️

Gone at 90, Steve Ditko made Stephen strange and Spidey spectacular. As the artist and co-creator of many of Marvel's most memorable characters, he helped shape this great geeky universe we live in, and by the Hoary Host of Hoggoth, will live in our hearts and dreams forever. pic.twitter.com/o6rLE4HfP7
